Myself, and a few fellow developers, are building a pretty kick ass financial services product for personal finance, called Certainty.
Sign-up at the site: http:/www.certainty.co.za/ to find out a little more as we reveal all the elements of the application.
It’s being built strong, secure, super fast, and with a host of open financial web […]

The racial enmity that is boiling in the Free State due to a stupid and shocking video prepared late last year by students at the University of the Free State shows just how far our democracy and society has to go, as well as how far it has come.
For a country with such a […]

I don’t think I’m a prude by any means. Generally I’d say that what adults do in their sex lives is there own business, and I’m really not interested in judging them, just as I’d like to not be judged, as long as no one is being coerced or abused. Basically if its consensual, society […]

There is nothing like a late night game of scrabble to create and forge new words in the furnace of competition.
Erin McKean, the popular dictionary evangelist would be proud of my friends and I as we had lengthy discussions on the truth and usability of words such as ‘liminal’ and ‘helixliar’ (Turns out ‘liminal’, […]

Microsoft has started a program called DreamSpark where their enterprise grade development applications (like Visual Studio) which my teams like mine, and millions around the world, make the products and services which change people’s lives.
By legally putting these tools in the hands of students world wide, Gates and Microsoft are cultivating a new generation […]

There is an amazing artist based in Cape Town, by the name of Gavin Rain (this sounds like a ’stage name’ - but so what).
His paintings, which could be described as neo-pointilism, were at the Veo gallery in Cape Town a couple of weeks ago.
He explores portraiture, and uses a very printily […]

I’d like feedback on the idea of setting up a forum for the blog site; a friend of mine (and collegue) runs an awesome site called Kak Duidelik.
I’ll admit that I’m probably a little too english/white to understand the site, but if you are from the Flakte (even Thornton, a tennis ball’s throw […]

Lately, at least in the last 6 months, its been pretty easy to get depressed about the state of the country; at least as far as the political landscape is concerned.
And I’ve focused a lot on that; a long with literally hundreds of other bloggers around the country. I’ll continue to deliver commentary and […]

You have to be AMAZED at the idiocy of people. iAfrica.com is reporting on the possibility that Mo Shaik will be rewarded by Jacob Zuma with the position of Finance Minister of the 2009 ANC-led South African cabinet.
Were Shaik, the brother of convicted fraudster Schabir Shaik, and the perjurer at the forefront of […]

The ANC government has cooked up another plan that makes little change to the core problem with our criminal justice system, namely the failure of the courts and the prison system to convict criminals and remove them permanently from society.
Community Crime Forums are just another Stalinist 5-year plan for security in our country with doesn’t […]

Mbeki’s Kremlinistic attitude to information flowing from the Office of the Presidency has no doubt failed our country and its people. No place is that more true than the handling of the security sections of our government, particularly the report from Judge Khampepe on what should be done to rectify the current security situation, vis-a-vis […]

South Africa is apparently so short on honest cops, that even those who pay admission of guilt fines for defrauding the state are retained in the employ of the police.
This truly is an abomination of justice, safety and security in this country. From the top on down our police force is full of crooks […]

The Chancellor House scandal rolls on within the ANC, with Matthews Phosa now taking a deep look into the ANC’s investment vehicle, along with the help of auditors Ernst and Young.
That a political party can have investments is shocking, particularly when that political party is the party of the government. That it can even […]

I could go on and on and on about Jacob Zuma’s addressing of the neo-Nuremberg rally of racist black journalists this week, in which our future president saw nothing wrong addressing a meeting closed to any white person. This doesn’t smack of Apartheid. It is Apartheid.
Michael Trapido on Thought Leader has put it absolutely […]
